Running season long, the Season Only Rankings (SOR) were first introduced in 2009 with the aim of giving all players a more immediate and season specific breakdown of where they stand in relation to all the players that participate in tournaments each year. The SOR do not replace the Official Rankings (which are still the ultimate benchmark for players) but run in tandem with the official rankings.

The focus of the SOR is to reward players for their results across the year, with particular emphasis on Personal Best performances, improvements round to round within any given tournament along with specific points for aces and a variety of other rewards. The breakdown of how the rankings are made up are listed below:

Playing in a tournament - 50 points

Relative result in a tournament - 10 points per place

Aces - 10 points each

Hatrick of aces - 50 points

Sub 36 rounds - 10 points each

Setting or equalling an Official Course Record - 50 points

Beating an existing Official Course Record - 100 points

Consecutive improvement round by round - 25 points per round

Player average better than tournament overall average - 10 points

Personal Best - 50 points

The updated ranking list is as follows:
